Third Chapter: (Set three days later)
"How are you feeling?" Yuzuki asked, cautiously re-aranging her kunai knives and senbon needles. "Better, we should get going today" Sasori replied, running a hand through his messy red hair. "If you are absolutely sure you can make the trip..." Yuzuki trailed off "I can, as long as we don't rush into any battles" Sasori added the last part as an afterthought. "My jutsu can only take us half way. I need to plan this" Yuzuki said, staring off through the large window the room offered.
"You need to rest to be able to think straight" Sasori reminded. "I'll rest when we get to the base, Akasuna" Yuzuki snapped, while Sasori looked a bit taken aback. "Why are you so angry all of a sudden?" Sasori growled, standing from the bed "Sorry, it must be the lack of sleep" Yuzuki replied calmly, still looking through the window. "That's why you should rest, your mood swings could endanger us both" Sasori stated. "Correction, it'll endanger YOU, seeing as you are unable to fight, if I run into a battle I could just leave you behind" Yuzuki's cold reply didn't surprise either of them. "My apologies, now go to sleep or eat something; you need to be as strong as possible for the trip" Yuzuki said quickly.
Sasori ignored the last command before heading for the bathroom, the cloak that had been lent to him by the kunoichi falling into a messy heap by the foot of the bed. Yuzuki took the opportunity to rest her head on her crossed arms on top of the small round table she was sitting in front of and closing her eyes, beginning to nod off.
Sasori stepped out of the bathroom wearing the clothes that Yuzuki had bought earlier; he really didn't like them much but he wasn't one to complain. Speaking of Yuzuki, the kunoichi had a habit of never sleeping when someone was in the same room, which explained her reluctance to rest. Sasori had learned that the hard way, on previous missions along with the fact that she had the emotional restraint of a child when she hadn't slept enough.
For example, he wasn't as offended by the threat of being left behind because it was something Yuzuki was bound to spit out because she hadn't slept; in fact, the simple act of speaking to her could trigger a sudden rage. Literally, one word spoken out-of-place and Yuzuki would be ready to murder anybody. But still, he couldn't help but think maybe Yuzuki would leave him behind? seeing as the most he could do was walk that didn't sound particularly safe for him.
Deciding to let the other sleep, Sasori switched the television on, beginning to surf through the few available channels. After a few hours of pure boredom went by, Yuzuki finally woke up, glaring at Sasori. "Why didn't you wake me up?" "Because you needed to rest" "Damn you" Yuzuki curse while stretching her now stiff muscles.
